More Mash-Ups Coming

by Raelene Gorlinsky

A little trolling through Amazon has revealed it's worse than I thought. But I wouldn't want any of you to miss these current and upcoming mash-ups! Honestly, these are for real! A lot of classic authors are rolling in their graves--or perhaps about to come back as zombies.

This one actually sounds like I might want to read it--or maybe just reading the title is enough:Mansfield Park and Mummies: Monster Mayhem, Matrimony, Ancient Curses, True Love and Other Dire Delights by Jane Austen & Vera Nazarian, which came out last November from Curiosities.

Not really a mash-up, more a take-off on the mash-ups, where our beloved author Jane is the undead heroine:Jane Bites Back by Michael Thomas Ford, out last December from Ballantine. It's labeled the first in a series.

Okay, I really want Alice in Zombieland and Romeo and Juliet and Vampires. I do rather love mash-ups. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was okay, but Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters was better. The Sea Monster sub-plot was more a plot than just an injection of creatures. I've also heard of Mr. Darcy, Vampire and want it too. Okay, I'm going to stop now before I add anything else to my TBR list. hehe

And don't forget Jane Slayre by Charlotte Bronte and Sherri Browning Erwin, where the Reeds are vampires and Jane Slayre is (of course) the child of vampire slayers. (And I'm not sure, but I think that Bertha Rochester ends up being a werewolf in the attic.

Dear ladies, I'm the author of the bookOf Robin Hood and Friar Tuck who tookTheir fight unto the massing zombie horde.And though of mashed up monsters you are boredI beg that you should give my tale a chance -It's poetry, the language of romanceAnd not a monster mash-up as you think.My book is rhyming verse that bears a linkTo Chaucer's famous Canterbury Tales.Click Amazon and check, and if this failsTo pique your int'rest, that shall be my cueTo swing my hook and bid you all adieu.
